   For me, this is the core of Leica photography.  Travel light and
   minimize the decisions one must make to capture any fleeting
   moment.

I too have a small kit that I use, a 60's vintage M2, 35/2 Sumicron
and a 90/2.8 TE. I also have a screw mount 21/4 SA that may be added
to the mix. All this plus the little Gossen digilux meter fit in an
old Tenba bag I have had for years. The Gossen is now attached to a
mini keyback on my waistband, where it is very convient. One of these
days I will get the CL claed, and them it might find its way back into
the bag.

Years ago I used to carry a small Domke canvas bag with two Olympus om
bodies, a 21/2 (why no one else was ever able to make a 21/2 remains a
mystery, its a wonderful lens), 35/2, 100/2.8 and maybe a 180/28. All
compact and easy to carry.
